We're addressing HUNGER in the Muskoka Community one food package at a time

There are 1,000+ kids in Muskoka with limited or no access to food each weekend.

It’s hard to believe children in our very own community go hungry, but it’s a reality faced by children every day.

While hunger exists around the world, we hope to address hunger in our home community.

Food4Kids provides packages of healthy food for kids aged 4-13 years with limited or no access to food each weekend.

The food packages are assembled by volunteers and delivered to schools each Friday to ensure children have nourishment over the weekend.

The worsening economy, job loss, working poor, illness, mental health, marriage breakdown or those fleeing their home country to seek safe refuge in Canada, are some of the reasons parents turn to Food4Kids for support.

Each month we provide 760 weekends without hunger!

If you were at our 3rd Annual Breakfast Gala yesterday, you would have melted when you heard Jeremy speak.

Jeremy set out with a big goal — to raise $700 by making and selling bracelets to support Food4Kids Muskoka. Not only did he share that goal proudly with everyone at the event, but he crushed it in the best way possible!

After the Gala, he excitedly FaceTimed to share the amazing news — he had raised $2,500!! 🙌

But Jeremy also rallied his friends and family to purchase two tables for the Gala, adding another $2,000 in support!

Jeremy, your passion, enthusiasm, and heart for helping kids inspires everyone around you. 💕 Thank you for showing what can happen when someone believes in a cause and goes all in.

We’re so proud and grateful to have you as part of our Food4Kids family!

TESTIMONIALS

"We were homeless. I called Food4Kids. They helped us immediately with food."

"I never thought our family would depend on others for food.

With a medical problem, I had no choice but to quit work. As a single parent raising 2 great kids, there is barely enough money for rent, little money for food and absolutely no money for extras. When the school asked if I would like to involve my kids in the Food4Kids program, all I could do was cry.

Knowing my children have food brings comfort. The fresh fruits, soups and healthy snacks are appreciated. Thank you for this service. The volunteers at Food4Kids are angels."

"I grew up in a family where you take care of your own.

After my marriage broke up, I had $50 for food for me and my two kids. I would not go to the food bank because I worked when they were open. We just survived.

Then the school let me know about Food4Kids.

My kids are happier, miss less school and are not sick all the time. It is fun when they come home from school on Friday so excited about what food they will have. Parents like me need this help."
